The moment quickly went viral, drawing praise from many social media users who lauded Gandhi’s decision to adopt and gift a Indie dog. Some even hailed the act as symbolic of compassion, with one user commenting that Gandhi should be considered the “next PM” for such gestures.

However, the video also triggered criticism, particularly regarding animal safety. Several users questioned the lack of visible ventilation in the gift box, raising concerns over placing a live animal in a wrapped package.

The timing of the video added to the discussion, as the Supreme Court recently revised an earlier directive that had called for the blanket removal of Indie dogs from Delhi-NCR following rising bite cabite
